TIPS FOR COMBINATION
COOKING/SPEED COOK
This section gives you instructions to operate each
combination cooking function. Please read these
instructions carefully. Sometimes combination
microwave-convection cooking is suggested to get the
best cooking results since it shortens the cooking time
for foods that normally need a long time to cook. This
cooking process also leaves meats juicy on the inside
and crispy on the outside. In combination cooking,
the convection heat and microwave energy alternate
automatically. Your oven has three preprogrammed
settings that make it easy to use combination cooking.
HELPFUL HINTS FOR
COMBINATION COOKING/
SPEED COOK
1. Meats may be roasted directly on the metal rack
provided with your oven. Use the metal tray/drip pan
to catch drippings and grease.
2. Use small pieces of foil to shield poultry legs and
wings.
3. Less tender cuts of beef can be roasted and
tenderized using oven cooking bags.
4. When baking, check for doneness after cooking
time is up. If not completely done, let stand in oven
for a few minutes to complete cooking.
5. When checking food for doneness during cooking,
carefully remove food, rack and drip tray (if used)
from the oven and close oven door to prevent
excessive heat loss.
6. "OVEN HOT" will appear in the display when the
oven door is opened during cooking.
7. If the temperature has dropped while the door is
open, "CLOSE DOOR" will appear in the display.
To clear, close the door and touch Enter/Start pad.
PRECAUTIONS
1. All cookware used for combination cooking must be
both microwave-safe and ovenproof.
2. During combination baking, some baking cookware
may cause arcing when it comes in contact with
the oven walls or metal accessory racks. Arcing is a
discharge of electricity that occurs when microwaves
come in contact with metal.
3. If arcing occurs, place a heatproof dish between the
pan and the metal rack.
4. If arcing occurs with other baking cookware, do not
use them for combination cooking.
